For best results, sow seeds directly into well-drained, organically enriched soil at a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm. Space plants 20 to 25 cm apart for good apple development. Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture, but avoid overwatering as this can promote rot.
Seeds germinate in 7-14 days, ensuring a quick and productive crop. Harvest leaves as needed or wait until the heads are fully formed for a single harvest.
'Romino' lettuce is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a reliable, flavorful variety that's perfect for crisp, nutritious dishes all season long.
